Both the nervous system and endocrine system would be involved in the regulating of function required in animals with any degree of complexity. Many of these functions would likely evolved in early organisms and been inherited (to some degree), with modification, by their descendants. The same could be said for a lot of other biological systems. [/QUOTE]
